Shrek is an infinitely better man than Steve Harvey.

Please provude context for an ignorent fella

He’s just poopy.

He’s made comments that black women shouldn’t date Asian men, then said he didn’t say abusing wrong after the backlash.

He wrote a book (with sequel) to the effect that women are too slutty and that’s why men cheat on them or won’t commit. You’ll never want to eat a cookie again after reading his book.

He blamed his own cheating on his wife.

He also says atheists don’t have a “moral barometer”, which says a lot about what he’d do if he didn’t think he’d get in trouble from God.

He’s not nearly up to par with Shrek.

Shrek is love. Shrek is life. I'm not sure we can say that about Steve Harvey.

Yeah . I was expecting some dirt on steve harvey tho.

Probably referring to quotes like the ones in this video https://youtu.be/az0BJRQ1cqM?si=a0YFAcvPYwqBnDyu

Why has it become normal to list a public figure's sins when they're the subject of a meme?

Because American politics has become so barren of thought and nuance that even interacting with content containing specific images will be highlighted as support for that thing. So you can't use memes with people you disagree with unless the meme is showing how you want to disrespect them.

And American politics continues to poison the internet "well" like the dead body it is because America has a lot of guns is looking more and more unstable by the day.

Why has it become normal to beg the question

I beg your pardon?

Why do you presuppose it has become normal? Have you seen this often? It's the first time I've seen it myself, and I am genuinely browsing memes too often for my health.

I guess it's not hugely common, but it still happens and nobody seems to question it. Like not too long ago with Lovecraft, for example.

That's funny shit though, if you talk about how HP Sauce named his cat a hard R slur, that's just good small talk.

I'm only fighting you on this because I like to acknowledge the darker side of our cultural touchstones. For example I still listen to Thriller, but I never forget MJ might have fucked those kids. I mean, come on. It's a bop.

There's a difference between acknowledging it and feeling like you should let everyone know any time it's brought up.

As a person involved in creative works, I don't think this is healthy in the long run. If a fella was a bigot once, and you denounce them every time they're brought up, that comes off as you saying they shouldn't be allowed to do creative work because they were a bigot once.

On a personal level, I don't really have as much to fear from that because I've never been a hater (though I've certainly said things in the past that can be misconstrued.) But I work with teams. I have a concern that one day, one of my teammates on one of my favorite projects might get exposed for something I had no way of knowing, that might have only occured years before I met them, and then the reputation of that project is going to be forever tainted. That could be hundreds of hours of work and passion down the drain.

This is just my personal version of "death of the artist". You have to separate the art from the artist, but that doesn't mean we give them a free pass imo

I can respect that you don't torch the art for the sins of the artist, but not everyone feels the same way. Remember the drama around Hogwarts Legacy?

Because I hate him, so you should too. This person is bad, don't laugh at any jokes, don't think he has anything positive to him in any way.

Also, I'm very open-minded, inclusive to all, etc.

Alrighty boys and gurls, you heard the man: we need to come up with entirely new shit to send to him! :-P

That would mean having to be on Xitter. The idea of it makes me feel icky.

Oh dayum, you are right. Ok, I quit already.

Nobody likes a quitter... unless it means creating a Shitter account, b/c that's just too cruel (and too kind to Musk's profits).

Dear Americans and, for some reason, French breakfast TV presenters. The Happy-Valley teeth are really fuckin weird. Please stop

What are happy valley teeth?

Maybe they mean uncanny valley? Or maybe referring to implants that are popular in places like Utah valley (home to a high population of extraordinarily superficial Mor[m]ons and high rates of antidepressant use), which is sarcastically called "Happy Valley."
